Film Review Quotes
"Seven Pounds makes a mystery of its lead character and of what he's pursuing, and for a very simple reason: If the movie were to announce its subject and story in the usual straightforward way, it would seem so ridiculous, far-fetched and borderline distasteful that no one would want to watch it. It might even seem funny."—San Francisco ChronicleSan Francisco Chronicle: Movie Review: Will Smith in Seven Pounds (December 19, 2008)"Will Smith brings his usual ease to the role but just can't seem to get a handle on Ben, settling instead for an elaborate casualness alternating with a woe-begone expression. He's a complicated character, with motives that aren't entirely clear until the story's various threads come together late in the movie, and Smith's trademark light touch is an awkward fit."—The Seattle TimesThe Seattle Times: Seven Pounds too Heavy for Smith (December 18, 2008)
